• Solid understanding of API design for clientserver applications, including RESTful APIs.
• Proactive mindset around best practices, security, and modern development approaches.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Why Join KPI Solutions?

• Modernization work: containerization, automation, observability, and security improvements that matter in production.
• Cross-regional collaboration: partner closely with our EMEA DevOps teammate to build repeatable operations.
• Hybrid flexibility: onsite Mon-Wed, remote Thu-Fri.

• Shape work for success: define and decompose scope into ready-to-build requirements (clear user stories and acceptance criteria), aligning on delivery standards, and proactively removing blockers to keep execution on track.
• Support production operations: Provide L2/L3 support, participate in an on-call rotation, lead root-cause analysis, and drive permanent fixes.
